Why I Became a Realtor
After managing residential appraisals for 13+ years, I saw firsthand how property values, construction quality, and market knowledge impact buyers' and sellers' success. I watched deals fall apart because agents missed construction defects I would have caught. I saw buyers overpay because no one understood comparable sales analysis the way appraisers do.
I earned my MBA to deepen my strategic thinking, then became a Realtor to work directly with clients during their most important financial decisions. My goal: bring appraisal-level expertise to every transaction so clients never overpay, never miss critical defects, and always make informed decisions backed by data, not guesswork.

My Approach
Most Springfield realtors learned real estate by selling homes. I learned it by managing residential appraisals for 13+ years first, which means I see properties, pricing, and value completely differently.
When I walk through a home with you, I see what appraisers see. I notice foundation issues, HVAC sizing problems, and construction quality concerns other agents walk right past. I know when a home is overpriced by $20,000 based on true comparable sales, not listing hype. I understand which improvements actually add value and which ones waste money.
This appraisal expertise, combined with my MBA training in strategic analysis, means you get data-driven guidance instead of guesswork. Whether you are buying your first home, selling a longtime residence, coordinating a senior transition, or building your real estate career, you get expert-level insight other agents simply cannot provide.
Why I Fight for Clients
I grew up in a house where the energy could change in an instant. Somewhere in that uncertainty, I decided I would protect people, even if it cost me. That instinct never left.
Today, that drive shows up in how I serve clients. I fight for you to understand every step of the transaction, to never feel taken advantage of, and to know you have someone firmly in your corner. I have built a career where safety is not just something I wished for as a child, it is something I create for my clients every single day.
When I negotiate for you, when I catch that construction defect, when I walk you through complex paperwork, when I push back on unfair terms—that protective instinct is what you are getting. You are not just hiring expertise. You are hiring someone who will not let you get hurt on my watch.
My Specializations
New Construction Homes
My 13+ years in appraisal management means I evaluate new construction differently than typical agents. I coordinate three-phase inspections at framing, pre-drywall, and final walk-through stages, catching construction defects that cost $5,000 to $20,000 to fix after closing.
Working directly with DR Horton, Arbor Homes, and Fischer Homes across Springfield, Dayton, and Columbus, I negotiate builder incentives worth $15,000 to $25,000 for clients. I review contracts for unfavorable terms, ensure proper HVAC sizing, verify foundation integrity, and identify builder markups on upgrades. You get appraisal-level quality assessment combined with expert negotiation.
Senior Downsizing & Life Transitions
As an SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist), I guide seniors and their families through every step of downsizing, estate coordination, and finding the right next home. I handle both transactions simultaneously, manage timelines, coordinate with family members across the country, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
My appraisal background provides accurate estate valuations for family planning and ensures you understand true market value, not emotional value. Whether transitioning to assisted living, moving closer to family, or downsizing to a maintenance-free home, you get compassionate guidance backed by expert knowledge of senior housing markets across Springfield, Dayton, and Columbus.
Relocation Services
Featured in The New York Times for helping families relocate to Springfield Ohio, I provide comprehensive relocation services for buyers moving from other states. I help you understand neighborhoods, school districts, employment areas, commute times, and community resources before you ever visit in person.
I coordinate virtual home tours, provide detailed neighborhood comparisons, connect you with local services, and ensure your transition is smooth. Whether relocating for work, family, or lifestyle, you get insider knowledge of Springfield, Dayton, and Columbus markets from someone who has helped dozens of families successfully make Ohio home.
Agent Mentoring at eXp Realty
I mentor real estate agents nationwide at eXp Realty, helping both new agents launch successful careers and experienced agents scale beyond traditional brokerages. As an eXp sponsor, I provide comprehensive onboarding, business development coaching, lead generation strategies, and guidance on building passive income through revenue share.
Whether you are considering your real estate license, ready to leave a traditional brokerage, or looking to build a team, I share proven frameworks for sustainable growth. You get mentorship from someone who understands both the transaction side and the business-building side of real estate.
